Hey all, have bought a few pieces from here, all through BK. Looks like he is gone now. Wanting to get a couple new pieces and wanted to ask if anyone has any Rep Dealer recomendations? Someone as reliable and as knowledgable as BK was.

TIA!

Well, I'm sorry to see that BK has gone. He was a great help to me many years ago mostly with modding tips, but he always was a stand up person and in the early days shared his knowledge freely.
The rep scene is constantly evolving and you just have to keep searching out new dealers.

I’m proudly wearing my BK Sub which remains one of my favorite watches. It’s still reliable, about as much as some of my newest reps

From my memory, his name was Bert, I think he had a job with the government. He worked with a watchmaker named George called Watchmaker9. George supplied the components and BK assembled them I believe in the US. George apparently died in a car crash so it was up to BK to continue supplying the watches. His watches were very impressive, as they are today

if I left something out, or got the story wrong,please correct me

BK retired and tbh the modern replicas of Clean/VS for Rolex are better quality for cheaper. I know people love BK builds but that's the modern replica scene now
